Really doubling down on that, "he actually is the antichrist" thing.
They have think-tanks dedicated to coming up with the worst decisions possible, for real.
I don't doubt it, Trump is a Russian Psyop placed in power with the singular goal of incapacitating the United States by sowing chaos.

Onion?
checks community name...
Sigh...
Might as well. It was originally called that, and the DoD name was always kind of a lame coat of off-white landlord paint.
Yeah but it's the death of a euphemism. It was good that they had to use a euphemism.
I'll bite. How is that?
Edit: I watched the death of a euphemism video and understand your point now. My original comment was less of a serious assertion and more voicing my general disdain for the idea of crossing out "War," writing "Defense," and continuing to invade countries for decades anyway.
Im grateful to be able to share this with someone for the first time if you haven't seen this series yet

Lmfao finally something I'm glad he's doing!
The name change was fucking psychological manipulation for the population. You can't argue against defense department spending as easily as you can argue against war department spending.
Bring it on! Make our jobs easier you bumbling brainrotted doughnut dictator.

Makes that 'are we the baddies?' a whole lot easier to answer.
If we're honest, this new name more accurately describes the American military than the word defense does
It actually used to be called "Department of War". It changed in 1947, which was actually right around the time when the United States went full worldwide imperialism (though there were signs well before then).
Might as well have been named the "Department of Fighting Communist Insurgencies". Truman and Eisenhower unleashed wave after wave of US troops on any pre-ww colonial territory that was trying to throw off the yoke of European occupation.
With Global Communism finally crushed, and ethno-nationalist tin pot plutocrats once again in control of Europe and the Middle East, the US can return to its more McKinley-esque tradition of occupation, enslavement, and extraction. No need to pretend we're shielding anyone from the villainous Soviet Marxists or the vile and malignant IWW.

It's like a 10 year old boy is leading America
A 10 year old boy who is also a felon, a rapist, and fucks 10 year old girls, while letting other 10 year old boys dictate policy while he golfs and rapes people.

Good.
It should be. At any point in time the US is involved in 5-10 wars since Obama.
Calling it the Dept. of War is honest.
Pretty sure the Carter administration was the last one to have no new wars in over 100 years.
Edit: I was wrong. The US was still involved in wars during his administration.
It's been super easy finding out the USA has only had 8-34 years of peace in it's history, not so much what those years pg peace were combing lists on wikipedia with my phone.

I'm so glad President Trump is focused on the important issues, like renaming bodies of water, mountains, schools, and federal institutions. I didn't need lower grocery prices anyway.
I seriously think that Trump is the singularity of what should be known as a Stupidity Hole. Seriously. Think about it. Information goes in and never sees light again. No data, written or spoken is ever allowed to leave once absorbed. And once the info reaches the Epstein Radius, It is unable to escape its doom, and is pulled slowly towards the center where it will be broken down into unintelligible sounds that resemble that of grunts and gremlinesque slobbering.
And the more information he consumes the larger his radius. As a child, his stupidity only influenced small things. Like, toys and his hands. As his gelatinous body grew, so too did the mass of his dumb.
Think Florida man just happened? Fuck no! That shit was Mar a Lago. The circumference of dumb envelopes Florida in its entirety and is now what’s known as a “lost cause.”
Who would have thought Americans would be so weak in the face of a fascist takeover. It's truly pathetic.
Has there ever been a more timid, passive, weak, complacent, idiotic population than the current USA?
From afar I watched them passively accept people dying or losing their homes because they couldn't afford health care. I saw them go off to fight stupid unjustifiable wars overseas with little protest. But it is when I saw them accept their kids dying in mass slaughters in schools with barely any outrage for decades that I realized they had lost their humanity. If you can accept such outrageous things without acting you can and will accept anything.
A large number of them actively cheer their own downfall as a nation, their own impoverishment, their slavery and their stupidity. I wouldn't underestimate the tasking of rebuilding a civilized society there. They might kick the Trumpists out with some effort but the rot goes very, very deep.

They missed a great chance to pull directly out of 1984 and call it the Ministry of Peace.

Missed the chance to have a Ministry of Peace.
Release the Epstein files you pedo fucks
I mean, that's definitely a more honest name, how much of what they do is actually "defense" vs just imperialism
Broken clocks and all that, fantastic change. No longer can people hide behind the euphemism.
Hey hey look over here! Stop focusing on how Trump paid for trafficking children for sex. Hey hey look over here!

Sounds like someone is very desperate to keep people from saying WHERE'S THE EPSTEIN FILES???
Sounds expensive. How much does it normally cost to rebrand an organisation of this size?
(and that's without needing to rewrite references to it in any legislation!)
Look out neighboring countries, the USA is switching to offense.
I mean...we've been fucking the world up since Korea and Vietnam. Arguably also WW1 (2 we sort of had an excuse because of Japan). And South America before that.
In theory it is the idea that we minimize harm to the heartland by engaging threats/"threats" before they burn down the white house again (mad props to Canada).
But nah. This is just the republicans continuing to be fucking morons. Like when perry (?) campaigned on killing the DOEnergy, got appointed as head, and realized that there were nukes next to all that clean coal.

The should make the treasury dept the dept of making rich cunts richer
president epstein, trying to do anything to not talk about himself. constant threat of tariffs since hes been doing for a while isnt working, he moved onto the troops in LA strategy, followed by faking "health issues", and insulting people. hes going to keep recycling this until people get tired of it go back to talking about the files.
This lowers our cost of living, right?
And here I thought that MAGA voted for peace... /s
Ministry of peace
